I'm Ready by Fats Domino

Fats Domino - "I'm Ready" lyrics


Well, I'm ready, I'm willing
And I'm able to rock and roll all night
And I'm able to rock and roll all night
I'm ready, I'm willing
Come on pretty baby
We're gonna rock, we're gonna roll until the broad daylight

Because I'm ready and I'm able
So you'd better come and go with me
We're gonna rock and roll 'til tomorrow 'bout three
I'm willing and I'm able

Don't send me no letter, 'cause I can't read
Talking on the phone is not my speed
Don't be long, 'cause I'll be gone
We'll go rock and rolling all night long

'Cause I'm ready, I'm willing
And I'm able to rock and roll all night
I'm ready, I'm willing
And I'm able to rock and roll all night
Come on pretty baby
We're gonna rock, we're gonna roll until tomorrow night

Talking on the phone is not my speed
Don't send me no letter, 'cause I can't read
Don't be long, 'cause I'll be gone
We'll go rock and rolling all night long

'Cause I'm ready, I'm willing
And I'm able to rock and roll all night
And I'm able to rock and roll all night
I'm ready, I'm willing
Come on pretty baby
We're gonna rock, we're gonna roll until tomorrow night

Mr. Norm's GRAND -SPAULDING DODGE........
Thanks to WLSClark and Kent Kotal, here is the cover art that goes with The Buckinghams’ jingle for Norm Kraus, also known as Mr. Norm. Carl Bonafede, original manager of The Buckinghams, booked them often at Mr. Norm’s Sport Club for Grand Spaulding Dodge. Mr. Norm gave the band a van in exchange for this jingle that was played across Chicago radio stations.



“Get With the Go Group!” by The Buckinghams

The LP pictured is full of drag strip stuff at Ubly Dragway. The Buckinghams jingle is 20 seconds that show up on the end and beginning of the LP side which runs a full 13 minutes of drag stuff similar to the Capitol Records series of Lps. Note it sold for $1 then. Now, it would bring $100 probably.
